The HMC226 is a low-cost SPDT switch in a 6-lead SOT26 package for use in transmitreceive applications which require very low distortion at high signal power levels. The device can control signals from DC to 2.0 GHz and is especially suited for 450 MHz, 900 MHz and 1.8-2.0 GHz applications with 0.5 to 0.8 dB loss. The design provides exceptional P1dB and intermodulation performance; a +35 dBm 1 dB compression point and +55 dBm third order intercept at +3 volt bias. RF1 or RF2 is a reflective short when "Off". On-chip circuitry allows single positive supply operation at very low DC current with control inputs compatible with CMOS and most TTL logic families. Applications include ISM/Cellular 900 MHz and PCS 1900 MHz devices.
